CUFF HOLDER AND ADJUSTER.

' SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 337,534, dated March9, 1886.

Application filed January 18, 1886. Serial No. 188,993. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, ROBERT STUYVESANT, of the city, county, and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful linproveinents in OuffHolders and Adjusters, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming partofthisspecification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of my i1nprovenient, illustrating its use.Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the same, taken through the brokenline 00 as, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a'rear elevation of the same, showndetached. Fig. 4. is a sectional end elevation of the same,taken throughthe line y y, Fig. 3.

The object of this invention is to provide cuff holders and adjustersconstructed in such a manner that the cuff can be readily moved in orout, and will be held securely in either position.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of thevarious parts of the cuff holder and adjuster, as will be hereinafterfully described.

A is a bar of thin sheet metahupon the outer end of which is formed aspring-catch, B, to engage with the shank of the stud O, that fast ensthe ends of a cuff, D, to each other. The spring-catch B can be formedby slitting the end of the bar A. beveling theinner corners of theprongs thus formed, and enlarging the said slit at alittle distance fromits outer end; or the spring-catch B can be made of spring wire, orother suitable material and soldered or otherwise secured to the saidbar A.

The bar A slides in a T- shaped groove in the bar E, which has across-head, F, attached to its farther end. The bar A is kept from beingdrawn out of the grooved bar E-by a pin or projection, G, attached to orformed upon the inner end of the said barA, and

which projects through the groove of the bar 5 E, so as to engage with aspring, H, or other stop attached to the forward end of the said bar Ein such a position as to cross or project over the groove in the saidbar E. To the end of the bar E, upon the side opposite the groove, issoldered or otherwise secured the shank ot'the button I.

In using the device, the spring catch 13 of the bar A is made to engagewith the shank of the stud O, the button I is buttoned into thebutton-holes of the wristband J of the shirt'sleeve K, and the groovedbar E is passed up the shirt-sleeve K, and can be confined in place bybeing passed through a loop. L, secured to the said shirt sleeve, \Viththis construction when the cuff is to be moved out of the way, it ispushed inward, the bar A sliding in the groove of the bar E. The cuff isheld in place, when pushed inward, by the friction betueen the bars A E.The cuff is moved into its ordinary position by simply drawing itoutward.

\Vith this improvement the cuff will be securely held in place, and canbe easily and quickly moved out of the way or drawn into its ordinaryposition.

Having thus describediny invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- In a cuff holder and adjuster, the combination, withthe bar A, having a spring-catch, B, at one end and a stop-pin, G, atits other end, of the bar E, grooved to receive the bar A, and havingacross-head, F, at one end and a stopspring, H, and a button, I, at itsother end, substantially as herein shown and described, whereby a cuffcan be securely connected with the wristband of a shirt-sleeve, can bereadily moved in or out, and will be held securely in either position,as set forth.
